The Winter Solstice takes place at 8:19 pm on 21 December
The Winter Solstice occurs at the moment when the North Pole is at its maximum tilt away from the sun. In the Seattle area this year, it takes place at 8:19 pm. It's the shortest, darkest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and the official beginning of Winter. But despair not! It also means that the days begin getting longer again.
Let's mark the occasion in a warm place with some hygge and hot beverages. If you're an insomniac, decaf and other tummy-warming options are available.
